Apparently deem it necessary to release a club statement
Rotherham United are incredibly disappointed with the behaviour of a small number of supporters following today’s draw with Swansea City in the Sky Bet Championship.
Following a positive afternoon on the pitch — during which Paul Warne’s side got off-the-mark with a point in the second tier — we are disappointed to be issuing this statement concerning the events involving a small section of both Millers and Swansea City fans located in the South East corner of the stadium.
The club works closely with the EFL and has been stressing the message of their ‘Love Football. Protect The Game’ campaign — which has seen clubs across the country working as a collective to stamp out crowd trouble - in the build-up to the 2022/23 campaign.
Both clubs will now work together alongside South Yorkshire Police to identify and subsequently punish the perpetrators and the individuals in question will not be welcome back at AESSEAL New York Stadium, where we pride ourselves on creating an environment in which everyone can enjoy the game.
We would once again like to thank the majority of our fan base who — as always — behaved impeccably and helped the team to perform on the pitch.

Good. Hope the police also get involved. Don’t want idiots like this in our club. |  | | |

Just getting that the home fans tried to take some swans flags and were attacked.
Rotherham have a little bit of history with away fans, they tried it with Millwall too in recent times. Same scenario.

I’ve been to Rotherham twice. Both times there was trouble.
The first, trouble on the corner of the old away end where that pub was. Second, that unfortunate day when terry Cole’s lost his life. | | | |

Swansea City club statement
Swansea City strongly condemns the behaviour of a small number of supporters following today’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Rotherham United.
At the conclusion of a game played in a great spirit and a terrific atmosphere, there were instances of unacceptable, unsavoury behaviour involving both Swansea and Rotherham fans in the south-east corner of the AESSEAL New York Stadium.
That such behaviour should happen during a period where the club has worked closely with the EFL in promoting the ‘Love Football. Protect the Game' campaign - which has seen clubs across all three divisions stress the need to eradicate anti-social behaviour from our game — only adds to our sense of dismay.
Ourselves and Rotherham United will now work together - and with South Yorkshire and South Wales Police - to identify those involved in the scenes witnessed after the full-time whistle. Such behaviour is simply not acceptable.
We want to thank the large majority of Swans fans who — as always - behaved impeccably. They represented the club and backed Russell Martin and the players brilliantly. | |

I just read a comment where Swans fans went to collect their flags, one in honour of TC and a RU fan spat at it. |  | | |

What should you do if someone tries to nick your flag, should you just let them or defend your property? | | | |

Exactly this. I’ve seen some YouTube footage. Something and nothing.
Even the Rotherham fans on their forum are saying attempts were made to take flags and they were spat on, which is inexcusable. But if the flag was a tribute to TC even worse. | | | |

They would have had one type of reaction for trying to nick the flag, and quite a different one for spitting on it.  | | | |

The question i asked though, was what would we do if they were nicking or even spitting on our flags? Would we be justified in fisticuffs if that is what it took? | | | |

If reports are accurate I would hope Swansea will be questioning the ineffectivness of Rotherham's security.
South Yorkshire Eh! [Post edited 31 Jul 2022 12:00]

It was a tribute to Mitchell Powell.
